Navigating Nokia’s Revenue Shift Amid 5G Rollouts and Capex Trends

By

In a recently revealed Q2 report, Nokia showed flat sales at €5.7 billion year over year, suggesting reduced capital expenditure by operators. Interestingly, while a 5% sales growth in Nokia’s Mobile Networks unit occurred, a troubling 6% decline at the Network Infrastructure division offset this boost. With stark contrasts across regions, North American sales notably dropped by 42% as 5G deployments slowed, while energetic 5G deployments in India couldn’t adequately balance the losses. Mirroring these figures, Ericsson too reported a 9% year over year decrease in Q2 revenue. A gloomy yet realistic outlook from Nokia’s CEO Pekka Lundmark, coupled with analyst firm Dell’Oro’s forecast on the shrinking RAN predictions, suggests telecommunications could be in for a turbulent few years.

Exploring IT Spending: The Unexpected Minimal Impact of AI

By

Global IT spending is projected to reach an impressive $4.7 trillion by 2023, a significant portion of this being credited to the 14.5% increase in software spending. Interestingly, Gartner highlights that generative AI, despite its transformative potential, doesn’t significantly impact current IT spending. Embraced slowly via upgrades to existing systems, generative AI isn’t seen as a disruptive, but as an added benefit. Moreover, the rise in software expenditure aligns with organizations aiming for operational efficiency, often through resources like ERP and CRM applications.
